These girls (above) are from the Atlanta Girls School. Their art teacher, Mrs. Joss, had them watch my blog this year as a class assignment, and even gave them a quiz - about me! So since I was going to be in town anyway they asked me to come by and say hello. I felt like a celebrity! They had some great questions for me - surprisingly grown-up questions, and afterwards we all trooped out the garden to get a group photo. As they were lining up I realized to my horror that many were taller than me and I was going to blend right in! So here's your pop-quiz - where is Carol?
Carol, Carol, bo, barol, there you are, smack dab. How great being recognized by this up-and-coming generation!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, you must have felt honored! But, also, what an inspiring experience for those lovely young ladies this year. Bravo!!!
ReplyDeletehmmmm,as i'm reading your blog i wonder if Mrs. Joss was my good friend when I lived in Atlanta? She was an excellent artist and her name is Susan Joss... that would be a real coincidence! Patti M.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great experience this must have been for the girls and for you! All you needed was a school uniform and we'd never be able to find you then. These girls can truly be called "Carol's Kids"
ReplyDeleteI was one of these girls at AGS. Thank you so much for coming to visit us!!! (I hope we didn't scare you.)
ReplyDelete:-)

ReplyDeleteYou are the one NOT in a uniform. Silly girl.
ReplyDeleteTrish C.
can't think of a better art mentor for these future artists. What an forward thinking and savvy teacher they must have!
ReplyDeleteI love this photo and the whole experience behind it. You ARE a celebrity! And to think that I have known you since you were a mere school girl! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing. I had the opportunity to do a workshop with an Art 4 class at my daughter's high school a few years ago. It was energizing see these kids jumping into art with no inhibitions about how something should be done. I was astounded by their creativity. You are such an inspiration to all. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteDear Carol,
ReplyDeleteI am one of the students in that picture! I am so glad that you enjoyed coming to visit us and we were pleased to have you. You were a very fantastic speaker for your first time! I really enjoy your artwork and I hope you keep it up! Thank you so much for coming by!
